Abstract

This chapter discusses the development of global governance mechanisms in the area of digital politics, the internet, and artificial intelligence. The first part introduces key concepts and milestones in the development of governance, particularly digital politics. The next section presents a framework for protecting human rights online against the backdrop of two metanarratives. The first one is the tension between the Global North and Global South in establishing global governance and digital politics. The second metanarrative presents the tension between universal and state-centric conceptions of protecting and regulating human rights online. The final section introduces the institutional framework and soft law principles associated with the United Nations' work through the UN Hub for Human Rights and Digital Technology to develop a universal model of digital politics during the Digital Decade (2020s) and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
